Lot Description

1785 Vermont Copper. Landscape. RR-2, Bressett 1-A, W-2005. Rarity-3. VERMONTS. Fine-15 (PCGS). 110.6 grains. Chestnut brown in the fields, a decidedly lighter tan on the devices and legends of this attractive Landscape copper. Struck a trifle off-center on one of the ovoid flans seen on some examples of this die pairing, pushing the date and some letters partially off-flan. A deep but smooth planchet furrow between STELLA and QUARTA has also softened the corresponding area of the obverse. Collected by Syd for its late die state plainly showing the tornado-like die break extending from base of the mountains through plow to date. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Long Island Numismatics (Gary Parietti), June 2001. To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F. Martin Collection, click here. PCGS# 800844.
